to be most aggrieved that I did not get married off in the last IPOAT thread? Won't someone think of Nigel?

[BeribbonedGibbon]

Well, am I?

we haven't had the ball yet - no racing ahead of the narrative, Mimi will have stern words. Although she did it once when she suddenly put us all in a balloon - and look where that got us.

Captain JimBob Ashley you say?

But he was married only last week. His wife is a bit fast

Mah goodness girls, we must help Hullybelle in her discomfiture. Ah wondered if these would help around the dancefloor. Hands over these.
Off down the corridor at speed - again.

OWWWWW!!!!!

Sniggers behind hand.

Hello o o. Gazes round at empty mansion. Are all busy getting ready for the ball? have they gone down the Bayou for the oestro gin?
Quickly gets fairy costume out and pirouettes.

Tra la la la. Hehe he.be me
Ahem, pulls self together. Off to do ringlets.

Miss Mini, it's always nice to get the thread to yourself for a bit, you can dance and run monomaniacally through the MN Halls...which was, incidentally, how we all started..

Boo!

Boo!

[echo]

You are all jealous of th elong line of beaux stretching all the way down the drive begging for sight of my dance card. No wonder you hide yourselves away.

I have arrived!

Y'all can stop fretting now, I am here. Why Aaam pawwwwwsitively sure my beau will be waiting eagerly for me. I'm fixin' to give him the night of his life!

Here are some of my beaux drinkin' mah health

Well, don't you look prettier than a glob of butter melting on a stack of wheat cakes!

WHY! My lord! I declare that young man will catch his death! Mammy! send over some charity clothes for that poor lamb.

Why! That is mah third cousin Lou-Lou Belle Bertwhistle of the Savannah Bertwhistles! That gal has been missin' for a decade or more. Her family will surely be glad to see her again.
